1800`s Cottage with layers of history/Old items/Retro TV and original power generator!

Hey house lovers and explorers! This old cottage is hidden behind old trees and growth and is an absolute perfect example of how an abode is adapted with add-ons and extensions as the decades roll by to suit needs. Lots of cool old items and original things in tact including the old dunny and generator shed which still has the generator! An old wash house at the back has a neat surprise also. Power was added in the 60`s to replace the old generator which would explain the cool old late 50`s early 60`s TV that remains also. Hope you all enjoy the tour. Cheers for watching :-)

I know what the old machine is in the shed ! It would have had aluminium basin on the top part and an aluminium pot on the lower basin with two spouts. The handle drives a gear that drive a smaller gear (on the left hand side) and shaft up through the lower basin in the centre. Now do you know what it is? Its a cream separator. It acts like a centrifuge. See antique cream separators. The lid for the large basin on top is on the floor behind it. LOL Another awesome video

Hi Paul the machine you were looking at was a separator which separators the cream from the milk. The taste of that cream is like no other it was to die for. The rain on the tin roof sounds just beautiful it is definitely a different sound to the color bond roofies of today. The old corrugate roofies have a much clear sound. Thanks again Paul for sharing Cheers

[@steviebboy69]

I never really took that much notice over the difference, although it does sound different in the shed with the new low profile Colourbond to what is on the roof of the house old school corrugated iron. but then the roof in the shed is lower so it sounds louder.

[@julielivingston9207]

the mystery "meat grinder" i believe is part of a vintage cream separator. the bowls, discs, and spouts (the washable stuff) is not there, just leaving the stand. I could be wrong, but that would be my best guess. took me back instantly to my childhood , and i am a dinosaur.

[@MrGaryRoberton]

When my uncle ran a dairy herd, he used to keep back some of the cream to put up in glass quart bottles to sell. It was so thick you had to spoon it into your coffee. Made it taste like ambrosia, Nice old place, if walls could talk......

[@sueturnermrsuniverseaustra4220]

Love love love thank you Paul 🙌 another outstanding explanation 🙏

[@JudithGolding]

I just played this video for my mother (she will be 101 in August), she recognized the cream separator immediately. "New Vortex" makes sense as a the name on the front now. She said she used to turn one on her grandparents farm in the Kentucky hills. The whole place looked familiar to her in its utilitarian style right down to the outhouse.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Judith, it makes me happy to know you and your mother can sit down a watch these videos and rediscover the old days that I wonder about so much. Thank you! :-)

[@wernersadventures8330]

Hey Paul the Television set was built in 1962 and was powered by 16 tubes absolutely stunning TV for its age.

[@TheLightbright01]

Now that's the kind of outhouse I have always known in US.

[@marthamitchell9452]

Wasn’t yours positioned over a deep hole? All the ones I have seen and used have been. Keep some wood ash to sprinkle in it and kill the smell and maybe some lime and Clorox to add to it too. My husband had one at a cabin he lived in in the late 70’s and early 80’s. He said no one’s outhouse smelled because they all took care of them properly.

[@slong8941]

I remember using my grandma's Outhouse back in the 60s

[@TheLightbright01]

I guess it would depend where your family was from. My family was from England and Ireland. And they said we use the chamber pot in the outhouse. When it starts getting dark we would go clean it out with water and pine-o-pine and bring it in the house at night to use. Actually it was on a screened in back porch. Then clean it in am and use in the outhouse. My Aunt had just gotten running water. But, no water heater and still had to warm water to wash dishes. Later her son put her a water heater in. And built her an indoor bathroom.

[@marthamitchell9452]

@@TheLightbright01 most of the US ones were in rural areas not serviced by utilities. When the hole was getting full they would dig another hole and move the shack over to the new hole and fill in the old one, usually with the dirt they dug out of the new hole. I don’t know where you emptied the chamber pot. The hole method took care of that problem since you would empty any chamber pot in the outhouse.

[@ihave2habit]

Thanks for your thoroughness. You take your time. : ) Your detective skills are good too! That fridge, depending on whether it had a plug, may have been an ice box. Again, thanks for the videos.

[@helendavis6901]

The old green fridge is a kerosene one my mum had a blue one she used it from the late 80’s until around 2008 she live at a mining camp at lightning Ridge NSW, but what blow my mind was the old would chip heater in the carport that would heat the water for the bath, I fired up a few of them in my very young childhood days.

[@nannettemueller5672]

I agree with @annehardy4329 about the cream separator. Ah it brings back some memories. We used to put pieces of straw in the middle section, get to winding it fast and the piece would fly off. The cream we separated though, made the cream thick like mayonnaise. We tried making ice cream with it but it was way too thick (we had Jerseys).

[@irenewatts2874]

Hi Paul That machine you thought was a meat grinder is actually a cream separator. Cool isn’t it! That box that said a TV came in it then you found the TV that came in that box. That was a cool find. Too bad you couldn’t open the door of that refrigerator. A real antique. It must have been a nice house way back when. Too bad there was no tinted glass on any doors. Those 2 pink bedrooms must have been occupied by girls. And how about the cool generator. I have a modern day generator that looks nothing like that one. You think they used that before they had power brought into the house? Another secluded home that was just left to waste away. You always find the coolest places to explore. Until the next video stay safe and well. Give my love to your 3 boys!🐈⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Another 5 star presentation.🙀💙🏚️. Have a great week ahead Paul!

[@urbexindigo5164]

Cheers Irene :-) Yes definitely they would have use the generator before the power was hooked up in the 60s :-)

[@barbaragravely920]

Thank you so much this explore says they had a very good family working together. I can see 6 people living there or more!Love how they put everything in its place . work with love indeed:)They were very smart where they put that generator and pipe outside so you could not get poisoned.

Hi Paul. The fridge looks like an old kero fridge, definately not powered by electricity. All of the sour sobs and the lucky jade plant is massive. The dunny brings back childhood memories...not good ones. I remember as a kid, when Dad took us on drives or holidays over to the west coast or out in the country, many 'public' toilets were still just like that one. As a young kid in the '60's, it was a horror...redbacks, no dunny paper and the stink was hideous. Another interesting find. Thanks 😁

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Vicki! :-) Yep even though these old homes are so interesting and impressive I still think our modern toilets are an improvement! :-)

[@JustOneKnight]

We used to use the little cream seperator on the farm it had a little bell that would sound as you turned the handle and the cream would sit on top and come through the top funnel and the milk out the second funnel from memory. Fond childhood memory we had two house cows so they were milked by hand that was fun lol . This was a cool old place the big latch block on the doors would have had a hefty size key definately not cuboard keys . great video.

[@wernersadventures8330]

Another awesome old home mate yer definitely liked the old mantle, just listening to those pigeons they sound like people talking bit eerie. 😊Ohh yes a valve black and white television healing definitely a nice looking unit minus the channel selector great find mate and yes I love my TVs especially the old ones. This might of been a late 60s to 70s model. And you got to love the old fridges retro indeed. I’m wondering if that generator was 32 volts or maybe 240volts some of the old homes had 32volts in the 40s. And yer straight out the back door and into the dunny, that contraption have no idea mate maybe a meat grinder of some sort. What an absolute gem mate cheers.

I noticed something about the color theme in this house. I know the paint colors were very few then…..today we have thousands of colors, but I noticed each room had at least three different colors. Green on walls, pink on one side of the door and white on the other side. Green ceiling in hallway. I guess they had to do with what was popular then. Very colorful! Thanks!

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Diana, for some reason in the 60`s those colors were used to revamp these old homes interiors :-)

I was saddened & disappointed to see the tags left behind on last week's upload. Goes to show how the younger generations have such a lack of respect for old abandoned homes which isn't part of their culture. Just because a home has been empty for a while doesn't mean it's open for vandalism. How would they like it if I decided to run rampant with a spray can & tag their home?

Bonjour d’Occitanie (France) Merci pour la visite, d'un simple bâtiment de deux pièces, il c'est bien agrandi au fil du temps. Je n’ai pas trouvé pour la télévision mais le moulin cela m’a interpelé je ne l’ai pas vue en fonctionnement mais je sais que cela servait à moudre le grain si c’est juste pour une mouture grossière c’était à usage agricole (nourriture pour les poules, canards, oies et cochons). Il en existe qui sont utilisés pour faire de la farine pour la farine (gâteau, pain) mouture plus fine. Pour l’eau du robinet s’il n’y avait pas de chauffe eau c’est peut être pour cela qu’il n’y avait pas forcément une signalisation juste de la température, ils pouvaient chauffer l’eau sur la cuisinière à bois s »il y en avait une ou juste cuisinière à gaz.
